The general results of the Pennsylvania and Obio elections are significant, important and highly encouraging to the national cause, and expecially the emphatic, decisive and over- whelming U nion victory in Ohio. ‘The issue in that State was distinctly and broadly defined. There never bas been in any loyal State an issue more fairly and unequivo- cally presented to the people than that be- tween John Brough and Clement L. Vallandig- ham, the one as the war candidate, the other an the peace candidate, for Governor. The plat- form of Brough was the suppression of the rebellion by force of arms, and a generous support of the administration in all the means and measures essential to secure this great result, and the submission of the re- volted States the supreme autho- rity of the Union, The platform of Vallandigham was peace at any price. From the first overt acts of the rebellion—nay, from the fret symptoms of a rebellion—his course was that of « violent aud inflexible op- ponent of the war, eyery moog adm and ia party.

Vigorous proseention of the war. ‘The great mistake of Vallandigham aod all the copperheads was their false interpre). lion of the elections of last fall. They aocepied the defeats of the administration from New York to Lilinols as nothing lew than & Northern popular revolution against the war, and in favor of pence om any terms. New Hampshire, Ruode Isaed and Connecticut, with the return of spring, told & differeut story; but the stupid Copperhead fac tion, still persisting in their folly, have received from Maine a still more emphatic repudiation, and in Qhio 4 chastisemeat which they cannot misunderstand. But this does not involve a Teversal of the popular verdiote " elections against the aly aladeeed cot military blunders of the administration. On the contrary, the niggerheads having been te- buked and warned in the elections of last year, the people this year have been their attention to this other pernicious the Copperheads. Next year both factions will meet their just deserts, and the administration itself, now upon its good bebaviour, will be held toa strict account. = sys = HP Now the paramount with the people of the loyal States is the » dispersion and dissolution of the rebel armies of the South. Hence the overwhelming defeatof Vallandig- ham, the peace and Northern submission candi- date for Governor of Ohio. Hence the of Judge Woodward in Pennsylvania; for, notwithstanding his sound conservative ‘po- ‘sition as a Union man, his affiliations with the copperheads raised a doubt against him which has operated in favor of Gov- ernor Curtin, who, beyond a doubt, had proved his faith by his works, in behalf of an earnest and decisive prosecution of the war. The result in both Ohio and Pennsylvania re- affirms the fixed resolve of the loyal States to subdue the armed forces of the rebellion by force of arms; to furnish the administration all the men, money and materials required to do this work, and to cast out all political factionists who stand in the wey. The administration is thus encouraged to push onthe war with renewed energy, East and West, by land and water; and let it not fail to meet the expectations of the people, that the war is now to be brought to a speedy conclusion and a glorious peace. The Presemt Attitude of the Western European Powers. By our latest advices from Europe we see that England and France have been fairly cowed by the bold front of Russia, and that all danger of a general war in Europe may be considered as averted. England has no stomach for the fray, while France is decidedly unwill- ing to undertake a war against Russia un- aided. The Gallic cock finds the Russian bear too formidable an antagonist, and, in spite of his crowing and great flapping of wings, the said cack will remain within peaceful limits. It has become apparent to all the world that Austria would take no steps against Russia in this Polish affair, and hence there is no danger of war. The Czar has acted with a boldness and decision which stamp him as equal to the emergency, and as @ result he sees his enemies draw away from the contest they so loudly threatened. England and France were under the impression that Russia dreade any coali- tion against her, and that, distrusting ber own power and resources, she would give up Poland than fight forher. The error of’ this con- clusion has been made manifest, and neither France nor England now dare press the matter to a warlike issue. There can be no doubt that this question of awarin Europe has beer influenced by the struggle in this country. France and England were loud in their outcries against Russia until we began to make so great a show of strength and at the same time evinced disposition to become the allies of Russia, This was a tarn of affairs which the great Powers of Europe had not counted upon, and which had an immediate effect upen their warlike deliberations. We have, beyond all doubt, driven the rebels almost to their last limits, and at any moment may, by a crushing defeat, so utterly demoralize them as to end the war at once. The Powers of Europe appre- ciate this, and dread the consequences of forcing Russia into an alliance which would render the two governments.so powerful as to give them the supreme control. It is well known that the first French republic resisted the combined efforts of all its enemies, and there is enter- tained in Europe a wholesome dread of what this republic may accomplish should it become allied to so powerful a government as that of Like Russia, we have defied the intrigues of our enemies and asserted our right and deter- mination to crush the rebellion which is deso- lating #0 large a portion of our land. To all threats that Europe would interfere we have implied our readiness to battle to the last for the continuance of our power and the dignity of our government; and we now see, as a result of this bold attitude, England asserting that she will npt intervene in this country, and that she is and shall be neutral. What France may assert ‘we care not—we are well aware that she will not dare to act—her action, and not her words, is what wo care for. We have caused the Powers of Europe to respect the great Ameri- can republic; we have proved to tt what we can accomplish by even a slight upon our resources, and tHe lesson has profited. To add to the effect produced by the display of our power fp the fact that a Russian ficet is tiding et anchor in oyr harbor, and that we, as & people, cause our to plainly under- stand that we are prepared to join our great force to that of Russia, and, combined, to resist the mightlest efforts of our mutual enemies. ‘The estocrats and monarchists of Europe, FLEFTEE! ile i et a fit Bei i! gence to ’ of hor role— the importance of the benefits she had gained. pte anpepdemenen ae We know what | are the benefits of our form of government, and | | gre determined to secure them to ourselves and | ' our pesterity, and hence we shall do all in our power to defeat not only our rebellious sub- | jects, but all the world, should it combine against us.

Copperheads and niggerheads are nowhere, and the people sustain entirely the administration for the prosecution of the war, as the elections everywhere show. We do not believe that in the history of free govern- ments there ever was ® people more unani- mous upon any poin€ than the Northern people convention in the “wayward sisters” should either be coaxed and bribed back into & half hearted Union, or allowed, if all bribes were rejected, to “depart in peace’ and set up ‘an independent patiouality.

They express simply and plainly the earnest resolve of the loyal people of this country that the war shall ge on, under this administration or any administration, in the best way or in the best possible way, until the last rebel lays down his arms and renews his allegiance to the constitution. Those who hoped for any other result did not understand the character and appreciate the patriotism of the American people. In the quaint language of President Lincoln, we have undertaken a mighty big job; but we have made up our minds to complete it, no matter what may be the cost. But the administration has much to learn from the result of these elections—quite as much as the rebels and the submission party and their European confederates. The rebels will be taught that we are still in earnest. The submission faction will be taught that tho loyal people prefer principle to party. The Eu- ropean confederates will be taught that the United States intend to remain united, in spite of the anxious efforts of foreign intermeddlers to breed another rebellion at the North in order to assist the existing rebellion at the South. But the administration itself must learn this fact: that the loyal masses demand and wil! insist upon a more vigorous prosecu- tion of the war. Let not President Lincoln and his advisers lay the flattering unction to their souls that the voters of Ohio and Pennsylvania have expressed their com- plete satisfaction with the military policy of the Cabinet. That was not an issue at these elections. The issue, as the people understood {t, was‘‘war or no war!” and they. of course decided for war. Had they been called upon to say whether or not they are satisfied with the conduct of the war, the re- sult would have been widely different. This question, however, is reserved for the coming Presidential election, and then it will be ‘answered so unanimously that the most igno- rant or fanatical can no longer misunderstand the true sentiments of loyal men. If President Lincoln has any of the wisdom for which we give him credit, he will anticipate this auswer by reforming his war policy altogether. What we urge President Lincoln and his Cabinet to do, therefore, in order to assist the recent elections in dispelling the illusions of all rebels and all confederates with rebels, at home and abroad, is to pay no more attention at present to the Nigger Department and the Political Department of the govern- ment, but to concentrate every energy upon the War and Navy Departments, te collect all the soldiers they can, by whatever may seem the most feasible means; to push on the con- struction of war vessels night and day; to pick out fighting officers and give them a fair chance, irrespective of their opinions in regard to poli- tics, and to wind up this miserable war in the shortest possible order and the shortest possible time. The Ohio and Pennsylvania elections are a pledge that the people will stand by the President as long as he does his duty. Now let him leave us to take care of New York, and devote himself exclusively and with his whale soul to the war and nothing but the war.

The result was the conservative i of 1862, which com- pletely demolished the republican party. Then the copperheads came up ; but, not learning anything from experience, like the Bourbons of France, they also went on proposing measures of the most extreme kind on the other side. The result of this was seen in a small way in elections in Connecticut, New will now learn wisdom from these things, dnd re- solve to Garry on the war in future on the the times, and push on the war vigorously, re- gardiess of the nigger or any other side issue?

It is plain, then, that the prince chosen by Napoleon to be his puppet on this continout will never assume that uneaviable position. France will be left to get out of the turmoil as best she may. In Eorl Russell’s late discourse upon this question he asserted that were the Mexican people really anxious to change their present form of goverament England would see with pleasure the advent ef Maximilian to the future throne, but that, were the people averse to any change, they ought not to be forced into one. All this means that Napoleon must not hope for any co-operation trom England in his schemes for conquest on this continent. The tremendous display of power made by the loyal States has taught the English govern- ment @ lesson of prudence, and they are acting upon it. They will not interfere in our struggle; neither will they aid Napoleon in Mexico; and he will ave to extricate himself as best'he may from a situation which is fest be- coming untenable. ‘The danger of the position increases as we draw nearer the end of therebellion.

Every one is tired of this; there is no necessity for it; and now is the time to change it, Doubtless there are already men enough in our armies to end the war; but so many men are detached on gar- rison-and guard duty on posts, lines of railroad and similar places, that our wrmies are greatiy weakened by this means.

Taking into consideration the facts of the case, the chances are dec dedly against the Priuce, who will not easily ob- tain what he asks.
